You don't need to. You create an account whose home directory is where you
get/put the files. When you log on to an FTP server you automatically are
put into your home directory. Another possibility is to create a virtual
ftp directory which maps to C:\someplace.
When you open C:\ for any account, you're likely to open the whole drive.
Do not do that. (And it shouldn't work on a well-secured Linux box anyway)

If Linux runs samba you're lucky, then you can simply use CopyFile() as
suggested by Jamie Dale.
